What Makes Us DENSO?

Let's think about it
– you and us, together.

The Relationship Among the DENSO Creed,


DENSO Philosophy, and DENSO Spirit

It was 1956 when the DENSO Creed was established.It was created so that the values passed down unbroken since the company's founding would be conveyed to future generations.
Time marched on, and in 1994, in keeping with changes in social environment, the DENSO Creed was transformed into the DENSO Philosophy. Nonetheless, the values passed down are unchanged.
In 2004, the DENSO Spirit came into being to further share our values globally.
To think about what it is in the DENSO Creed that underlies all of our philosophy that makes us, DENSO – this will surely take us to a tomorrow that creates new value.
